ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) – The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and its musicians have reached a tentative deal that would end a 6-month lockout.

Musicians and SPCO management announced the proposed contract agreement Tuesday night. The proposal will be taken to the musicians union for a vote, and concerts will return while the two sides work out details.

If approved, the musicians’ annual pay will be cut by $15,000, and the orchestra will be reduced by six players to 24. However, the musicians will have greater artistic control over the SPCO’s performances and repertoire.
